The Life, Designs & Crafts of Marie Haigh
Life is what happens while I am busy planning my next knitting design.
Ocean City, NJ was lovely. We had perfect weather. Every morning was spent on the beach.

Elly had a blast in the ocean and digging in the endless sand.
Still it was so nice to get home.
While away, the vegetable garden had exploded. So, today was spent picking zucchini and peas.
Elly helped.
She even helped shell the peas.
Home sweet home.
Barely.
Seeds have only just started to poke their heads out of the ground, but I am already dancing for joy!
Spinach!
Swiss Chard!
Asparagus!
Peas!
Carrots that Elly and I planted last Fall!
Unfortunately, I need to remove the lion’s share. One, they are growing too close together and two, I need room to plant seeds of corn.
Other plants require less squinting to find, such as the garlic and herbs.
Just this past week, I tossed the dried thyme in my spice rack because the thyme in my garden is available year round. And fresh is better.
Soon I will be able to toss the rosemary too. Even though it dies back in the winter, I can whip out my dehydrator and dry my own supply in the Fall before the first freeze.
It’s rewarding and really fun to reap what you sow.
